  • Was This Starmer's Enoch Powell Moment?

    Was This Starmer's Enoch Powell Moment?
    May 13 2025
    Was Keir Starmer’s speech unveiling new measures reduce immigration his 'Enoch Powell' moment? Most people would acknowledge that it’s not intrinsically racist to discuss the scale of migration to the UK and have measures in place to regulate it. But as the Prime Minister laid out his plans in Downing Street this week, the language around it was horrifying to some Labour supporters. At the same time as saying that he celebrated diversity, Starmer said that UK risks, “becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together”. As backbench MP Zarah Sultana pointed out, this echoed the infamous 'Rivers of Blood’ speech made by Enoch Powell in 1968. Sultana – currently suspended from the Labour whip - said that Starmer’s words “add to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk." Adrian Goldberg is joined in conversation by Byline Times political editor Adam Bienkov. This is the edited version of a live broadcast on BylineSupplement.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    50501 - The US Resistance Movement
    Apr 23 2025
    Adrian Goldberg hears from Hunter Dunn, National Press Co-Ordinator with 50501 – the grassroots US resistance movement to Donald Trump. It started with a thread on the social media site Reddit, and has already spawned significant protests. An estimated 5 million people turned out to demonstrate in towns and cities across the States on April 5 under the 50501 banner; millions more showed up on Easter Saturday, the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, key moments in the American revolution. One feature of the protests is that activists are mobilising around issues that are relevant to their local area…as well as opposing the Trump administration’s flagrant disregard for the constitutional norms of the USA.
